Fish and Gifts


 You know those little edibles with fins that swim around in tanks all day to tease us?  When one became disabled and couldn't remain buoyant, the owner fashioned a little fishie harness for it.  What a caring heart this person has!


If the video doesn't play, click here.

We're way behind on posting, so we'll share a couple of things with you today.

An anonymous (not to us) human sent us a Pawalla box 
We kitties have been enjoying this and the treats can even be shared wit the dogs.


Here is Percy checking out the bag we won in a drawing at Brian's Home.


And we got a similar one from Mousebreath.


The back is the same on both of them.  (Sorry it's a bit wrinkled.  Jan hid them until she could take the photos but we found them and took turns napping on them. 

Things have been a bit hectic and we haven't been able to post very often, but we're still here.  Timid Micah is slowing blending into the family since his illness. He moved himself from his perch in the living room to the kitchen once he was up and around, but Jan still closes him in the bedroom at night to be sure he gets enough to eat and has a chance to play. 

Buddy's skin was healing nicely until last week when Jan discovered the plastic cone (ecollar) had torn up the underside of his neck again so he's chewed himself bloody since the cone came off.  The company that made the collar was supposed to send an inflatable collar since their "padding" is inadequate for a big dog running into things, but it has not arrived.  So things are not great with Buddy but Jan is working on him.  Thanks for the suggestions and help some of you have given. 

We think Jan's leg is healing but since she's not screaming when anything touches her, we're wondering if she's still alive.

Enough news.  Have a good day.

  10. Awwwww, so nice to help the little fishie out. I would have like to see the human put the floatie on the fishie.
    Glad that Rusty is doing better and that Micah is settling in a little better. I haven't been to Mousebreath to read the latest interview but will head there tomorrow. Mom is a slacker, what can I say.

  15. As Sparkle says it is tiresome when humans get incapacitated. They tend to ignore us too much. Glad she is feeling better .... trusting that she actually IS still alive!!??? >^,,^<

  18. Oh how I wish I had thought of that when our goldfish Herbie was on his side, instead I held him upright for over and hour while instructing my kids in what to bring me. After adding a bit of salt and an hour of keeping him up, he was able to hold his own, we bought a bigger tank, better filter and some smooth rocks. Herbie lived for 8 years and my kids had a burial in the backyard. All life is precious!
    Glad that Micah is better, poor Buddy, we hope he heals soon and Jan's leg too=^Y^=

  19. FaRADaY: well, I totally understood your "if she's not screaming we wonder if she's alive" comment, but then Maxwell told me I was insensitive. MOI?!? HRMPF.

    Allie: we're very glad things are beginning to move in a positive direction. At least for Jan & Micah. (BUDDY! Stop chewing!!)
